He has had some injury problems in the past, so that definitely concerns me heading into this year. He can’t produce if he is not healthy and on the field. I definitely think you are underselling Sanders there. He will have a much bigger impact on the team than you think. As far as Welker, I agree about his injury concerns as well. He is a candle: on blow and he is out.

I think 40 passing touchdowns are a fair expectation, but I don’t be surprised if he finished around the 32-25 range. He has only thrown for more than 35 scores three times in his career. Granted, two of the three were in Denver, but he’s not a lock for 40. That’s a best case scenario.

At the end of the season, Thomas will not have 13 scores. I have my doubts he will reach 10. I also don’t believe that he will have that much yardage. Those are Jimmy Graham numbers you’re talking about, and he’s a special player. He has proven that he can put up those numbers, while Thomas has only had one good season. That’s a big jump that I don’t know he is capable of making it. Those numbers would make it the third greets season for a tight end ever. That is extremely unlikely.

Even with that I would agree with you but decker is gone and sanders is not good, I trust the steelers Holmes, and Wallace look like crap elsewhere. plus I would be shocked if welker plays more than 8 games he has conclusion issues, so while manning will not throw 54 tds again you can lock him up for 40 and I’d bet that the Thomas’s are going to get close to fifteen each I’ll give you a stat line for Julius of 82 1150 and 13 tds assuming he plays 15 games.
